BBC BASIC for SDL 2.0 (BBCSDL) is an entirely free and Open Source
cross-platform implementation of BBC BASIC for Windows, MacOS,
Linux (x86 CPU only), Raspberry Pi OS (RPi3 or later), Android,
iOS or for running in a browser.
It combines the simplicity of BASIC with the sophistication of a
structured language, allowing you to write utilities and games,
use sound and graphics, and perform calculations.
The Desktop editions (Windows, MacOS, Linux, Raspberry Pi)
include a BASIC program editor with syntax colouring, live
indentation, search & replace and many other features.
Built-in diagnostic aids such as run-time trace, listing of
variables, single-step execution and a profiler make debugging
even the most complex programs straightforward.
This package installs to /opt/bbcsdl and is a rebuild of the open
sources available at https://github.com/rtrussell/BBCSDL
In addition to the 'bbcsdl' the 'bbcbasic' linux console version
of the program is also build.
The Box2D (Box2D321.so) libraries:
- 64 bits md5 215bbda5d9a92a5cc99534de4e1235aa and
- 32 bits md5 f079027b8e2589a10fd17eca77e644f7
are bundled with the original release by R.T.Russell available
at https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcsdl/bbclinux.zip.
This SlackBuild includes it as a separate download from the
package maintainer github account as it is not packaged with
program sources. If you do not need it you can exclude the
library by passing BOX2D=no like this:
BOX2D=no ./bbcsdl.SlackBuild
Many program examples are installed at /opt/bbcsdl/examples/
